Many people want to travel around the world but don’t think they can afford it. Just the airfare alone can get very expensive. I want to do some international traveling and was recently checking out the prices of many international flight when I came across the web sites AirTecks.com CFares.com. They specialize in multi-stop international air travel, for anyone that want to do an around the world trip you should check this site out because they offer some deals on international airfare.
The trip of a lifetime is at your reach
Around the World for $1199?
Right now there is a special airfare at AirTreks for only $1199 that goes to Los Angles, Beijing, Shanghai, Frankfurt, London and back to Los Angles (Use promotion code: HAT548310). They also have a $1799 fare that goes from New York, Shockholm, Kuala, Lumpur, Sydney, Honolulu, San Francisco and back to New York (Use promotion code: HAT538949). Last year I just flew from Honolulu, Hawaii to New York City and paid about $1000, so to go around the world for $1199 is a bargain. Of course there are taxes and restrictions to these plan so please read the details.
Make Your Own Custom Around the World Trip
You can also make your own custom around the world trip by using their interactive AirTrek TripPlanner. Even if you don’t plan on traveling soon, I would recommend checking it out just to see how much it costs and where you can travel. It doesn’t cost a dime to dream.

Of course lodging will be another expense that can do some damage to your wallet but if you looking for a bargain you can check out the following sites.

Life is GoodWhere Will You Go?Now all you have to do is figure out where you want to go and start accumulating those vacation days. Don’t forget to get a passport if you plan on traveling soon as they can take a while to process.
I’m planning my first trip to Japan next year and it will probably cost close to five thousand dollars. It is a two week tour with pretty much everything included (food, travel, hotel). I was thinking with that five grand I could travel around the world instead. The around the world trip will have to wait because I have wanted to visit Japan for a long time now.

Hi Dean. On your Travel Around the World for Cheap feature
we noticed that for hostel information you recommend Hostels.com.
Hostels.com used to be a good site for information about hostels, but
it was bought out by an online booking company (HostelWorld) and now
it just directs people to the HostelWorld reservation system — they
list less than half of the existing hostels worldwide, and they no
longer provide contact information for most hostels unless you make a
reservation through them.
But there is an alternative site with a lot more hostel information.
Hostelz.com is a free guide that lists information about all hostels
worldwide. It’s the most complete online database of hostel
information, both in terms of the contact information for the hostels
and the number of hostels covered. It also provides reviews from
people who have stayed in the hostels.
